My experience was positive in that I had the chance to tell my manager what days I could work and my schedule was set for the entire time I worked there. There are also lots of online resources for help for employees to use the H&R Block-specific computer programs.

Cons

As a large corporation, H&R Block has a very rigid set of guidelines for practices for its employees. Often employees get caught up with meeting corporate standards and cannot successfully address the problems at hand. Also, it does attract a very wide swath of people and the staff certainly has characters no matter which location.

Company benefits for a seasonal employee are not worth the money spent on them when they don't cover basics and end up costing more out of pocket than they cover.

Advice to Management

Treat seasonal employees, who essentially keep the company running, better....between pay and benefits, it's not hard to see why so many good people leave after a while to go to a company that pays better and offers benefits that actually benefit the employee.
